If you ara analysing data from a cohort or cross-sectional study (instead of a case-control studu), and if you have Stata Version 11, then you might like to use the -punaf- package (downloadable from SSC), which computes population unattributable and attributable fractions with confidence limits. I have plans to write a version for case-control studies, but haven't done so yet.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Hi
I am having difficulty with the user-written command aflogit.
Although it is expected to work after unconditional logit or poisson
it does not work for me.

As to why it stopped working in Stata 11 -- aflogit.ado includes the code

          #delimit ;
          if "$S_E_cmd" != "logistic"&  "$S_E_cmd" != "logit"&
"$S_E_cmd" != "blogit"
           &  ("$S_E_cmd" != "glm" | "$S_E_fam" != "bin" | "$S_E_link" != "l")
           &  ("$S_E_cmd" != "glm" | "$S_E_fam" != "poi")
           &  "$S_E_cmd" != "poisson" {;
                  disp in red "Can only be used after unconditional
logistic or poisson regression";
                  error 301;
          };

For whatever reason, it appears that Stata's -logit- stopped setting
those macros starting with version 11. If somebody were so inclined,
they could probably rewrite aflogit using e(cmd) instead.

aflogit was written for version 5 of Stata, so presumably you could
get it to work with any supported command by doing something like

version 5: command...
aflogit
